I had posted in another thread not knowing a Walmart thread exists. I am just going to post the questions that I had in that thread here:
Would truck driving be for me if I only want to work around 9-11 hours a day? This includes time spent at docks.
Will Walmart give me any flak for only wanting to do 11-12 hours maximum per day?
Does trucking life really have to be nothing but 12-14 hour workdays every day?
Hours per day with Walmart?

CAUTION: If 12 hours is your limit -- each & every day -- then you will soon find that trucking is NOT FOR YOU....
....whether it's for Walmart -- or any other fleet.
To clarify:
When you drive for any modern, professional fleet: per DOT regs, you will use 2 different clocks:
- an 11-hour clock (for driving)
- a 14-hour clock (for on-duty -- this is for all other work, besides driving)

It can be done but it's more on local and or niche jobs nothing that wouldn't entice most truckers I can say that especially in the oil field that wouldn't fly. A private company that's hauls dairy I remember while back when I was in the northeast did have a driver doing what you are asking for by haul I mean like to the stores like you would with similar stops like a Pepsi driver does only it was dairy products. I know in Texas where I live one guy went to work at one of these places from lazy driving a bus to that maybe he wanted a free workout. There's nothing wrong with that but its going to be physical most likely. To say it can't be done is ludicrous
but the real question is how badly do you want that and are you sure the pros outweigh the cons? -
Cali kid Thanks this.

I don't really know anybody that has time for video games on their rest break. While Walmart makes the job as easy and smooth as it can be for drivers this is still work and it's tiring work. Short days happen but aren't the norm. He'll have time to talk on the phone while on the road in between store deliveries. And a little before bedtime to wind down and get rest.Rayune Thanks this. -
If that's the case, you're aware that Walmart requires 30 months of recent driving experience before considering you, right? So if you aren't a driver yet, please revisit this thread when you are and get that experience. Of course by then, you'll have figured out if truck driving really is for you or not..The_vett Thanks this. -
See if you can get a county, city, school district job, hazmat endorsement is a plus when you apply. The hours they offer is up your alley.
The_vett Thanks this.
